  - It is old episodes featuring the other actors that played The Doctor. William Hartnell (the first Doctor) is featured tonight with a story from 1964. - TWuG Jan 27, 16:46
  - it deals with the 1st guy who played the part 50 years ago. -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 16:43

I have a wad of cash from an under-the-table freelance gig that I would rather deposit than spend over time. I've had it since late november. - amanda Jan 27, 15:40 19
- What did you decide about the Daddy-o money? -- nm - ST. Epiphany Jan 27, 17:43
- buy some gold jewerly, or a coin....or a collector's item for cash...something that might appreciate over time -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 27, 16:28
- keep it safe somewhere. It's always good to have a wad of cash around when you need it. -- nm - CQ Jan 27, 16:04
- Casino -- nm - Dano Jan 27, 15:52 1
  - One way or another, that cash will be gone by dawn! -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 15:54

- ATM. -- nm - Mop Jan 27, 15:45 6
  - going to the ATM is pedestrian. I don't even get my laundry money from the bank. that's what the pool room at zeno's is for. -- nm - amanda Jan 27, 15:47 5
    - Prepay a tab at zeno's. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jan 27, 15:58 2
      - oh, zeno's gift cards. not a bad idea. you're a smart one. -- nm - amanda Jan 27, 16:05 1

    - No, if it had been me, I would have said buy shit or get off the pot of gold, just like the check we talked about over a month ago. - Max Jan 27, 16:25 1
      - still sitting on it. I know, I know! -- nm - amanda Jan 27, 17:01

We will see what the SAG Awards do for Best Cast, but I am thinking SLP for Best Picture right now. - Dano Jan 27, 15:04 5
- [deleted] 1
  - It just has an Academy wheelhouse epic feel to me and it's wide open. - Dano Jan 27, 15:43
- [deleted]
- Hope you are right about SLP - saw it yesterday and really liked it! -- nm - JenBro Jan 27, 15:15
- (I may change my mind multiple times between now and the Oscars) This is a crazy year. -- nm - Dano Jan 27, 15:05

this is me testing the message box. gfisdgfisdbgsjigh sgash gsgh sh sio hgh sdhsdoh sodi ghsiodh oisdh god giosd hgo sdngosngosngos gnso gn sodgns gns - Spawn Jan 27, 14:26 5
- It's more important to update the codebase to something sane right now, otherwise I'm too demotivated to work on it at all. - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:28
- I know the posts were just as close in the alpha, but the various posts really do visually bleed together. -- nm - Spawn Jan 27, 14:28 3
  - Yes, they do. The data set I was testing with locally wasn't big enough to demonstrate this. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:29 2
    - I like that when you "Hide" the entire Welcome goes with it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 27, 14:30 1
      - I like that too. It was annoying the heck out of me :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:31
Just back from a lovely spa afternoon with my tech friend/co-worker - as soon as we cleared the wifi block zone both our phones went off - - JenBro Jan 27, 14:26 2
- You don't care enough about your job -- nm - Bacon Jan 27, 14:27 1
  - I really need to start caring less ... Someone else needs to start taking a turn! :) -- nm - JenBro Jan 27, 15:17
I wonder who was the last American Olympian to participate in the Summer and Winter Games, consecutively. -- nm - David Jan 27, 14:25
Tell Crash Edgar just showed up at Fan Fest. -- nm - psilotum Jan 27, 14:25
Needs more orange. - Spawn Jan 27, 14:25
So ... who wants to try a beta version of the site? :) -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:23 46
- Am I missing something? How are people getting back out to the main board from inside a post? The back button? -- nm - Dano Jan 27, 16:25 2
  - Ah. The SlackerTalk link in the upper left works for that. -- nm - Dano Jan 27, 16:26 1
    - There's also an action for that under responses, for signed-in users -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 16:48
- the light blue text on whitish background = eye strain -- nm - SG3 Jan 27, 15:34 3
  - THIS -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 15:47
  - I think a gray shade text color would work -- nm - SG3 Jan 27, 15:36 1
    - ..not with gray highlights on new posts though -- nm - SG3 Jan 27, 15:40
- I don't love the look, but the format looks better on my phone. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 27, 15:12
- I like the look and the header that pops up. Works well on my phone. -- nm - Krusty Jan 27, 14:58
- ender/dane: the password is in the link title (it would be too much work to use your ST logins for that protection :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:38
- The lack of underline on the posts frightens me. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jan 27, 14:35 9
  - right?? it reminds me too much of the orage place. -- nm - amanda Jan 27, 15:41
  - How hard would it be to include an auto-refresh? - nubby, Astro-lord Jan 27, 14:42 7
    - What timeouts would you be interested in for an auto-refresh? 60s? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:51 5
      - And the ability to turn it off. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 15:43 3
        
        I figured the default would be off. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jan 27, 16:07 1
        
        Of course. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 16:08
        
        I am thinking it will be handled by a parameter on the URL (such as "index.php?refresh=30"), so just clicking SlackerTalk in the header would disable -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 15:43
      - I most commonly use 30s and 60s. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jan 27, 14:52
    - A bit of extra work. I'll add it to the feature list. (Eventually I'd like an ajax-driven one, but the time to develop that might not be worth it) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:49
- I like as little header as possible so I don't have scroll down much to see a bulk of the page. -- nm - Max Jan 27, 14:32 11
  - That's kind of what I was aiming for (even though the new top nav is "always on") -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:32 8
    - but...that beta header takes up half my screen. -- nm - Max Jan 27, 14:34 7
      - Right now it's super bulky when expanded, but I aim to reduce that footprint as well. When hidden, it uses a cookie to stay hidden on subsequent loads - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:41 5
        
        ah. that's good. The other comment I have is that I like the dark font/names on this board, but the lightness of the font on the beta is too far - Max Jan 27, 15:24 3
        
        Noted. I agree, the blue is too light. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 15:43 2
        
        Ooh! And the lack of a "visited" colour is a usability backstep -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 15:44 1
        
        also very word. -- nm - amanda Jan 27, 15:45
        
        When collapsed, it uses less screenspace than the regular version's banner image. So that's an improvement. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:46
      - after you hide it? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:35
  - I want more head -- nm - Bacon Jan 27, 14:32 1
    - er -- nm - Bacon Jan 27, 14:32
- You know we don't do well with change. We might all leave you for another board. - CovingtonCat Jan 27, 14:27 11
  - Well, see, the thing is - this design will probably not be used for ST itself. It's just one line for me to flip this back to the old ST look. - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:29 10
    - You're so smart. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jan 27, 14:31
    - Is it orange? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 27, 14:30 1
      - See above. -- nm - Spawn Jan 27, 14:31
    - Then I approve! -- nm - Spawn Jan 27, 14:29 5
      - but it *might* be the ST "mobile" site. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:30 4
        
        It is more mobile friendly without needing to manually resize, for sure. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 14:48 2
        
        we need the underlines, though. I feel like it helps to visually separate threads. -- nm - amanda Jan 27, 15:46 1
        
        There needs to be something, clearly the indent isn't good enough -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 15:51
        
        As long as I can access either one, that is fine. -- nm - Spawn Jan 27, 14:31
    - Avatars -- nm - Bacon Jan 27, 14:29
- Do we get avatars? -- nm - Bacon Jan 27, 14:25 1
  - No, not exactly, but I did change the board stats idea around to give us each a "profile" page. When viewing a post, you can click the user's name. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:26
I'm still here!! Here I am!! -- nm - Mitt Jan 27, 14:23
